The 2026 North American CW Weekend is happening June 12-14, 2026.
It’s not too late to join your fellow CW enthusiasts for the North American CW Weekend this year!
As in the past, the Weekend is primarily aimed at those amateur radio operators with a particular interest in Morse code (CW) operation – FOC, CWOPS, SKCC, FISTS – but anyone with an interest in Morse code communication is welcome.
We are delighted to welcome regulars back, and look forward to meeting some new players.
There is a nominal registration of $25 per couple or $15 per single person. This will help defray costs and fees. Any excess will be donated to the CWOPS Scholarship fund. Please send your check, made out to Don Lynch W4ZYT at 1517 West Little Neck Road – Virginia Beach, VA 23452-4717
